Traveling Vlog

We have been at our ministry site for over a week now here in Thailand. I have been vlogging most of our days, and I hope to make several videos throughout our time here. This video tracks our travel from training camp to our ministry site. Enjoy 😀 https://youtu.be/dI5r7LMpNqY

Hmar by choice, not by birth

I have been renamed. No. I actually have. In Hmar. We are living amongst the Hmar tribe in India. I have made some lifelong friends out of our contacts here. These are the people providing meals and transportation for us and AUTHENTIC INDIAN CHAI TEA EVERY MORNING (praise God from whom all blessings flow). Because there’s absolutely no other way to put it, these are the most selfless people I’ve ever met. Apart from being with us 24/7, they invite us into their homes, they go with us to the market, and they tell us stories of what life is like in India as we venture to live the...

(or 3, I am honestly not sure- we skipped about 12 hours at in half a day.) ‘Cause I’m feeling TOTALLY EXCITED right now with my cup of Marsala tea on the FINAL flight to our destination…okay, maybe I’m a little exhausted. But hey, “welcome to the mission field,” right? 😉 I have concluded that I don’t exactly love long flights, however, I can’t get over how...

When the Glamour’s Gone

Hello everyone! So much has happened in these first weeks in Albania! As I said before, my team was able to spend the day in Rome which was crazy cool! Afterwards we went to our ministry site and were able to have a few days of rest which was very needed! In that few days my team was given the opportunity to play as extras in a film being produced by a Christian organization to use as a door to give the gospel, to see the beach, and to find a shop that had wifi! We also found a shop nearby that carries Nutella (Praise the Lamb)! The food here is very good. Bread and cheese at every...

Getting Clean Isn’t Easy

One of the first things they introduce you to at training camp is bucket showers.  So what is a bucket shower?  Basically, you take a 5 gallon bucket fill it with cold water, and use a scoop or measuring cup to pour small amounts of water over your body.  At training camp, the showers were in a small building with six curtained stalls and slatted wooden floors.  Here in India, the showers resemble American showers with the main difference being the bucket on the floor in the middle and the spigot sticking out of the wall. Bucket showers remind me a lot of the work God...
